henodoes anyone know how to connect to a kvm instance running on a remote machine with -vnc?12:29
mathiazheno: you need to get the vnc port and then point your vnc client to the vm_host_ip:vnc_port12:30
mathiazheno: the default port is 590012:30
mathiazheno: I usually use: vinagre vm_host_ip:590012:31
henomathiaz: right, that was my guess too, but it doesn't work :(  I can vnc into the desktop of the machine (isis:5900) itself from this box (hp) but not into the kvm session running on isis:5901. I can reach the kvm from isis itself though at localhost:590112:38
mathiazheno: is the vnc client listening on all the ip or the just localhost?12:38
mathiazheno: there may be a firewall in between also12:39
mathiazheno: what I usually do is to do local port forwarding with an an ssh client12:39
henomathiaz: I don't know where it's listening, but the vnc session made by the normal vnc-server comes through just fine. The machines are both under my desk and there are no firewalls running on either AFAICT12:42
henoI can try port forwarding12:43
mathiazheno: kvm -vnc may only listen on localhost by default12:43
mathiazheno: you may wanna try starting the kvm process with -vnc 0.0.0.0:590112:46
henomathiaz: actually '0.0.0.0' or the IP of he machine? (is it an IP mask?)12:47
mathiazheno: the ip is the list of host that are allowed to connect to the vnc server12:48
mathiazheno: 0.0.0.0 means - anyone can connect to the vnc server12:48
henomathiaz: no luck. with that it won't connect from the local machine either. Nor does -vnc actual-ip:5901 work12:52
mathiazheno: hm - what does netstat on the vm host says when kvm is started?12:54
mathiazheno: it seems that local port fowarding is the other option you have12:55
henonetstat says it's listening to 5900 (regular vnc-server) but not 5901 (kvm)12:58
henomathiaz: is 'ssh -L 5902:proxy:5902 henrik@isis-ip the command I should use?12:58
henowhere isis is the machine kvm is running12:59
stgraberheno: vncviewer -via henrik@isis-ip localhost::590213:00
mathiazheno: hm - the problem is that 5901 isn't opened13:00
mathiazheno: so it seems that kvm isn't running a vnc server at all13:00
mathiazheno: are you using kvm directly or libvirt to manage your vm guests?13:01
henomathiaz: I'm running it directly. I think it's running a server because it works fine on the local machine. Port forwarding worked btw, thanks!13:05

persiastgraber, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Cases updated.  Is that what you wanted, or are you looking for something different?14:33
* persia fixes a copy & paste error14:34
stgraberpersia: well, that's only one testcase but I guess in your case it covers everything (you don't have different ways of installing, do you ?) so that should be good14:36
persiastgraber, That's really all we wanted.  The main goal is to make sure that some humans have actually looked at the images and that we can select a known-good-image for beta, RC, etc.14:37
persiaThings working would be neat, but the basic image and install tests most of the essential bits.14:38
persiaAnd no, there's no alternate CD.14:38
persiastgraber, Also, how would it impact you to remove the "Mobile Testing" section from w.u.c/Testing/Cases ?  As I understand it, those are out of date and not maintained.14:48
persiaThe pages themselves are probably interesting to be resurrected at some point : they just aren't a current set of tests.14:49
* heno is away for a bit15:06
PrivateVoidanyone having any success with getting intrepid's flash to work with ustream.tv or 12seconds.tv?15:13
PrivateVoidI got discon after asking... so here goes the questions again... sorry for the duplicate15:14
PrivateVoidanyone having any success with getting intrepid's flash to work with ustream.tv or 12seconds.tv?15:14
persiaPrivateVoid, Which flash do you have installed?15:15
PrivateVoidthe one from the repos -- I believe it is version 1015:15
persiaWell, I suspect you have flashplugin-nonfree.  Some people find adobe-flashplugin works differently.  I don't use either, so I'm just guessing.15:16
liwis ISO testing going on? or not yet?15:32
davmor2not yet15:33
liwook, then I'll return later15:33
persiaDoesn't that usually start after the tuesday builds (so ~ 3:00 UTC, or in ~ 12 hours)15:33
davmor2persia: we were hoping to get in early so we could get better testing coverage under less pressure, but it was not to be :)15:34
persiadavmor2, Yeah : you would have had to prep the developers, as there were too many changes today.15:36
davmor2persia: I think heno sent out a mail to those lines :)15:37
persiaOh.  I haven't seen it yet.  I did see a lot of changes, so I suspect others haven't seen it either.15:37
davmor2ce la vie anyway :)15:37
persiachanges to core things like the installer too :)15:38
davmor2persia: I know that's why I'm waiting on the email to say I can start testing for real :)15:38
davmor2oh and tested upgrade on my main machine too :)15:39
PrivateVoidyes... I have non-free persia...15:40
PrivateVoidthere is an adobe-flashplugin in the repos for 64bit?15:40
davmor2persia: I have adobe installed too15:41
PrivateVoiddavmor2 - my issue with adobe is that streaming does not function when I try to broadcast on ustream.tv or 12seconds.tv15:42
davmor2Pass15:42
PrivateVoidit works fine under 8.04 and flashplugin-nonfree15:42
PrivateVoidbut with 8.10 and the Adobe 10 version of flashplugin-nonfree it does not...15:43
PrivateVoidbut if there is a different option as persia  said then I will try that when I get hom tonight15:43
PrivateVoidthe rest of flash 10 works better... no more menus going under images, etc.15:43
arahave you noticed lately that apport gives "wrong" close messages? like "firefox closed unexpectely" and alike, that are not true?16:15
persiaara, Are you sure they aren't true?  Maybe it crashed when closing when you logged out last time?16:15
arapersia: i just tried that in a fresh installed intrepid16:16
persiaara, So you got that message when firefox had *never* run?16:17
arapersia: yes, I think so. I will double check that, though16:18
persiaara, Please file that bug before you do : I'm *really* curious to see what crashed.16:19
persia(as apport is surely reacting to *something* in /var/crash16:19
arapersia: ok, will do16:19
davmor2I don't have it here16:20
persiadavmor2, Which is precisely the interesting bit :)  Luckily, apport should show us exactly what crashed.  Whether we care is an entirely different matter.16:22
davmor2:)16:22
arapersia: I cannot report, as it is so freshly installed intrepid, that it needed to get updates. If it happens again after the update, I will report again16:24
persiaara, Why can't you report it?  apport doesn't let you?16:26
persiaara, Really, I'm only curious how firefox got started if you say it didn't start, and the apport data was the easiest way to check.16:26
sbeattiepersia: if she was trying to report something else via apport and firefox crashed...17:27
* ara -> lunch17:32
persiasbeattie, Exactly.  That's why I was curious.  Anything apport reports should be true, although it may be confused.17:32
sbeattieright, but its a bit problematic if firefox's configuration is hosed enough that it fails on every restart...17:33
persiaOr even just the first restart after an install.  That's why I wanted the apport report, rather than waiting for upgrade, and seeing if it still happens.  While it might not need fixing, it at least shows what crashed, and maybe why.17:35
kryptomorfI am trying to install ubuntu 8.10 beta on an acer machine, but there is some trouble loading gdm, is this something the testing team is interested in?18:35
arakryptomorf: do you get the live cd up and running?19:16
kryptomorfno thats the problem19:28
henokryptomorf: could you try the latest daily image? http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/19:37
kryptomorfsure19:39
heno(the 32-bit one is slightly over-sized)19:40
kryptomorfyes I see, ill see if I can find an empty DVD19:42
slangasekfirst RC test images up20:15
slangasekwill definitely have some rerolls yet, I already know of at least one critical bug on them20:15
kryptomorfheno: i have tested with the daily image, and its still the the same - gdm crashed and ubuntu drops to some tty20:17
* afflux grabs alternate-amd6420:34
mathiazstgraber: It seems that the list of test cases on the qa tracker hasn't been updated with the latest version of the ServerInstall wiki page20:42
mathiazstgraber: tests have been added to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Cases/ServerInstall20:42
mathiazstgraber: and they haven't been added to the qa tracker.20:43
stgrabermathiaz: yeah, I know. I have the new Ubuntu mobile one only since this morning, I'll be updating them tonight and ping a sysadmin to do the SQL update.21:30
stgrabermathiaz: around ?22:43
stgrabermathiaz: you added the JeOS testcase, we currently have a separate image with that testcase on the tracker is this one obsolete ?22:43
mathiazstgraber: you can remove the JeOS images22:44
stgraberok22:44
mathiazstgraber: as of intrepid JeOS is part of the -server iso and not an separate iso anymore22:44
stgraberok, and these JeOS testcases are for both amd64 and i386 ?22:44
stgraber(the previous JeOS was i386 only)22:44
stgrabermathiaz: ^22:53
mathiazstgraber: yes - both amd64 and i386 are supported22:54
stgraberok22:54
stgraberpersia: ping22:56
stgraberpersia: Ubuntu Mobile and Ubuntu MID, what arch is that ?22:56
stgraberlpia ?22:58
stgraberhmm, that doesn't really matter in fact as there is only one image anyway, I'll just not specify an architecture23:00
